Scottish UNISON walks out on pay
70,000 local government workers across Scotland gave overwhelming support to a one-day strike over pay called by UNISON on August 29.
Union leaders reported thousands of membership applications as they threatened to step up the fight after the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities refused to increase its pitiful 2.5 percent pay offer. UNISON has demanded 5 percent.
Further action is likely to include another 1-day stoppage coupled with selective strikes by key groups of workers.
